Halflife.com for $1 milllion

http://www.halflife.com/buydomain/

Someone posted this on Digg this morning

It certainly would make for an interesting legal case.

Technically its a scientific term, but it sure looks like its being used in bad faith

Seems like the owner has been trying to sell it for quite some time now. Thou IMHO, 1,000,000 is pretty far fetched.

Legalities?

Most serious potential buyers will be concerned about possible copyright/trademark issues with the domain. I'm not a lawyer, so I ccannot advise you legally here, but I will provide you with some background info.

Valve is a company who welcomes free publicity, not one who repels it (such as our beloved Microsoft). Halflife.com is currently on sale for $1,000,000 and Halflife.us is for sale too. There are TONS of MAJOR sites with 'halflife' in domain such as Halflife2.net and HalflifeSource.com. You'd think these sites wouldn't exist if Valve wanted to sue them.

I honestly don't think there would be any problem whatsoever in terms of legalities.
If what the guy said is true, then there shouldn't be any problem.

It's not a matter of the term, but his usage of the term.

if you check carefully, that guy is selling halflife.org, and not halflife.com.

Yup I noticed.

I was referring to the legal issues part, cause I'm sure there wouldn't be much difference in legality between Halflife.org and Halflife.com

I am not sure if both of those names are trademarked, but i dont know anyone who would pay $1million for halflife.com. I wouldnt even pay $1000 myself to be honest, because i just dont play the game so i dont really know if it is good.
